Cygwin processes are just windows processes and they are diverse. If you want to stop a running process you use whatever mechanism that process requires for shutdown. There is no one method to properly shut down a process on either Windows, Cygwin, or Linux. If you want to use a brute force technique then you could "kill ; kill -9" every process that you see by running "ps". That could have all sorts of unpleasant side-effects, however. To summarize: There is no one method to accomplish what you seem to be asking. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
